"All of This"
All of this banter
It's got no mantra
And it's spreadin' rapid
Commonly vapid
Look, I know we got issues
Tragedies hand out tissues
But the best way to respond
Is to come together as one
Ideological barricades
Are causing ceaseless tirades
Look at what happens when these gates are opened
They should be bent and looked around not broken
Look, I know we got problems
Current leaders not solvin' a lot of them
And pop figures go along
It's the media humdrum
New ideas should be celebrated
Two sides is overrated
“But yet you must toss those ideas and conform
To beat the massive evil form”
All of this chatter
About how we really don't matter
It's scatterin' rapid
And it's honestly vapid
Look, the world is changin'
Environments rearrangin'
Humans have shaped many spaces
Into current and future dangers
But now we are of high intelligence
Problems allow us to use our sense
How would it be better with us gone?
Shaping things for the better, why's that wrong?
Look, people say a cool future ain't happenin'
Because right-wing despots are mappin' it
They've retreated to “optimistic nihilism”
Making lives of thrill-seeking hedonism
Seeking enjoyment is a welcome tactic
But I find this viewpoint problematic
It's becoming popular among the youth
Reckless, fruitless partying is running loose
All of this modern discourse
I feel it's off-course
A new point of view is needed
People are bein' mistreated
Look, we got to seek comfort for everyone
While letting ourselves shine like the sun
We've all been gifted with minds
Agreeable solutions we can find
Balance in discussions is a must
As progress is built on trust
We must realize that different opinion-rays
Can be valid and useful in varying ways
Look, some discussion boundaries can't be crossed
With prejudice and anger all is lost
But dialogue is needed, chances must be given
How else are advances made on Earth, in heaven?
We must talk before we can call “another side”
Fallen ones who to the future shouldn't get a ride
Once we reach out, dissuade ugly motivations
I'm sure we can look forward to brighter situations
